七、阅读回答问题
（2025 苏州调研）My 14-year-old brother John dreamed of having a black woollen coat. At that time this kind of coat was popular with the students of his age. One day my brother and I saw a black coat in a shop. The coat was in the same style. It felt soft and was only 28. John bought it at once.
John wore the coat to school the next day happily and came home with a big smile. He even sang songs. It didn't happen a lot because John was always shy. “What do the kids think of your coat?” I asked. “They love it,” he said.
Over the next few weeks, there seemed to be a change in John. He became more confident(自信的). He would bring Father some water and give a talk in front of many classmates. He would give his seat to an old man on the bus.
When we talked about his change and wanted to know why, Mum would say, “Maybe it’s because of the coat.”
Soon the hot summer came and John didn’t need to wear a coat. To our surprise(惊讶), John didn’t change back to the shy John. He was a young man full of energy.
I think it’s never the clothes that matter. What really changes John is his own attitude(态度).
1. How did John feel when he wore the black coat to school the next day?
_________
2. What was John like before he bought the black coat?
_________
3. Do you think clothes matter to you? Give an example.
_________
